SSDA Special Workshop Series II.2.S4: Multilevel Modeling Using R

Fri, November 15, 2019 9:30 AM - Fri, November 15, 2019 12:30 PM at Nisbet Building, Suite 320, Michigan State University

You are invited to join us at our SSDA special intermediate level workshop: Multilevel Modeling Using R, which will be led by Bronson Hui, our SSDA Associate, from Second Language Studies in the College of Arts and Letters at MSU.

By incorporating fixed and random effects, multilevel (or mixed-effects) modeling allows researchers to statistically account for dependency in the data due to a nested data structure, that is, a higher level unit (e.g., an individual) contributing multiple observations (e.g., data points from repeated measures) to the data set.  In this workshop, we will go through some of the basics in multilevel modeling, covering both conceptual and practical aspects of modeling building.  Participants are expected to have basic knowledge of multiple regression and feel comfortable using RStudio (scripts will be provided).  Open data from the speaker’s own research will be used.
